Kamar Ocakbasi Restaurant

New location for this amazing restaurant, right on the beach. https://maps.app.goo.gl/Wx7gz7wgvHK4xy1u6. It has moved and does a lovely aubergine casserole, amazing meze, gorgeous Turkish flatbread. A must for a vegan in Side.

Traditional food, modern, lovely
atmosphere and really attentive service.

Nice but tourist prices

For me a little bit to expensive - especially at the moment when one € is more than 20 Turkish Lira. But it’s delicious anyway!

Location is incorrect

Location is changed and there is a different menu. Doesn't offer vegan on the menu and there's no hummus.

Very nice setting and amazing vegetarian food

Situated at the shore the restaurant has great ambiance lighting and is one of the few with not too loud and very nice music. A solid wine card and the menu ensures a great evening. There are 3 dedicated vegetarian dishes (real vegetarian not normal without meat) which are very tasty. To start with lots of vegetarian or vegan starters. We loved our evening and would come back

Pros: Waiter asks about vegan, Dedicated vegetarian dishes with vegan option, Amazing setting at the sea

Amazing authentic turkish food

This place is amazing! I had meze and hummus as recommended by the server and it was amazing and they were very good at explaining the menu.

The food tastes great - authentic Turkish dishes and several vegan options to choose from! The prices are also very fair.

The staff is extremely nice and they are very attentive. We had a chat with the owner and had tea on the house. The restaurant is very cozy as well.

Would give 5 stars if I could - I will definitely be back!

Pros: Awesome Turkish food, Plenty of vegan options, Very nice staff

Best hummus I had!

The restaurant is very nice, it has a big terrace with a nice environmental. The staff is really nice and attentive.
The meze was very nice, all vegetarian with difference opcions. And the bread made in the wood hoven. But for me the best was the hummus, very smooth and tasty.
For the main course I had the stuffed eggplant, it was really nice. And it has more vegetarian choices.
I really recommend this restaurant.

Pros: Different vegetarian options., Meze, Hummus

Lovely setting

I came here after seeing a few positive reviews. Was in a beautiful outdoor setting near a roman ruin and we were seated next to a little wishing well type fountain, and what with that and some slightly trippy new age type music it all had a slight Lord of the rings type feel! Staff friendly enough without being pushy. Was quite pricey in comparison to other places although still cheap compared to the UK. Was not a vegan section to the menu so had to be informed as to what was suitable for me. Flatbread starter and salad bits were nice, flatbread nice and puffy although not very substantial. Was elated to find hummus on the menu (a rarity in Side!) only to be disappointed to find it was prepared with butter???? I ordered the vegetable casserole for my main which to be honest seemed to be the same bog standard recipe found in other Side restaurants - tinned type vegetables in a spicy sauce quite tasty but nothing special the only difference being was more expensive! However all in all was a nice place to dine, slightly posher then most of the usual places good for when you are a bit more dressed up rather then after spending the day at the beach like we were! Had a simple fruit desert and shared a bottle of wine plus water and I think if I remember correctly the meal came to about £12 to £15 each we went in September 18 when the lira was right down against the pound..so not bad value for a more upmarket type place.

Pros: Lovely location very atomospheric, Very professional service, Food well made

Cons: Hummus prepared with butter????, Would be good to have options marked as vegan, More vegan choices

Pros: Meze 👌, Cozy, Staff

Cons: You get too full
